Chapter Summaries

The Sea Princess struggled to decide whether to support Di Tian’s war against humanity, fearing both for her people and for her daughter Li Ya in the God Realm. Xiao Bai then spoke out against the Soul Beast race going to war, arguing that the Sea Soul Beasts should not follow Di Tian to their deaths.

• Neutral Sea Soul Beasts distanced themselves from the Sea Princess, while many merfolk reproached her for hesitating to follow Beast God.
• The Sea Princess weighed the Soul Beast race’s chance to reclaim its future against the danger that the returning God Realm might punish them and Li Ya.
• The Sea Princess recalled that she had protected Xiao Bai and the Demon Soul Great White Sharks partly to safeguard Li Ya, but she knew she could not stop a war between races.
• Xiao Bai declared that she opposed the Soul Beast race going to war with humanity and drew the gathered beasts’ attention.
• Xiao Bai began arguing that the Sea Soul Beasts should not follow Di Tian into a disastrous conflict.

Xiao Bai tried to persuade the Sea Soul Beasts to abandon war against humanity, but they rejected her claims. She proposed a sword dance to buy time and secretly planned to attack Di Tian with the Sea Princess, whose silence left her plan uncertain.

• Xiao Bai argued that the Sea Soul Beasts should wait for the God Realm to return and pursue peaceful coexistence with humanity, but the assembled beasts dismissed her.
• Xiao Bai blamed Di Tian for giving the Sea Soul Beasts courage and proposed a sword dance while they considered the war.
• Di Tian agreed to the dance partly to give the Sea Princess more time to decide whether to join his cause.
• Xiao Bai summoned a divine longsword containing a wisp of Sea God divine power and transformed into human form to begin her dance.
• Xiao Bai secretly asked the Sea Princess to help kill Di Tian, but the Sea Princess did not respond to her messages.

Lan Fozi fought Demon Soul Great White Shark Xiao Bai during a sword dance as Xiao Bai tried to assassinate Di Tian and recruit the Sea Princess. The Sea Princess's Golden Shuttle struck Xiao Bai instead, leaving her dead and the Sea Princess stunned by the altered outcome.

• Lan Fozi joined Xiao Bai's sword dance and attacked her with a Level 9 Soul Guidance Device sword.
• Di Tian restored Lan Fozi's damaged sword with his Profound Meaning Black Dragon Sword, strengthening her advantage over Xiao Bai.
• Xiao Bai deliberately took a nonfatal wound from Lan Fozi and hurled her divine longsword at Di Tian.
• The Sea Princess launched a Golden Shuttle to intercept the weapon, while Di Tian secretly altered what she perceived.
• The Golden Shuttle pierced Xiao Bai between the brows, and she died in disbelief that the Sea Princess had killed her.

Di Tian secured the Sea Princess’s submission after she killed Xiao Bai, but Xiao Bai’s daughter Bai XiuXiu condemned her and the Demon Spirit Great White Sharks defied Di Tian. The Sea Princess killed them all, leaving Di Tian in control of the palace and their life essence enriching the Deep Sea Domain.

• The Sea Princess realized Di Tian had disrupted her Spiritual Power attack, and he asked whether she had made her decision.
• The Sea Princess submitted to Di Tian, prompting cheers, while Bai XiuXiu accused her of using Xiao Bai’s death as a Test of Allegiance and demanded revenge.
• Di Tian allowed the surviving Demon Spirit Great White Sharks into the palace and offered to spare them if they killed Bai XiuXiu.
• The Demon Spirit Great White Sharks refused Di Tian’s offer and declared their loyalty to the Sea God.
• The Sea Princess asked Di Tian to let her kill Xiao Bai’s clansmen, then used a Spiritual Power net to kill Bai XiuXiu and the other Demon Spirit Great White Sharks.
• The Sea Princess swept the blood from the palace with an Ocean Storm and sent their life essence into the Deep Sea Domain.

After the banquet, Di Tian accepted the Sea Princess’s Ocean Heart and promised to revive Li Ya if the soul beasts succeeded in establishing their own God Realm. He left with Lan Fozi for Heaven Dou City, where she sensed her mother, the Demon Empress.

• Di Tian announced that he would coordinate the war preparations and strengthen Sea Soul Beasts with more than two hundred thousand years of cultivation.
• The Sea Princess gave Di Tian her Ocean Heart and offered to serve him, but he reaffirmed his promise to revive Li Ya and told her to wait behind others.
• Di Tian left the inner court and took Lan Fozi from the palace, brushing aside her teasing about his visit with the Sea Princess.
• Di Tian carried Lan Fozi at high speed to Heaven Dou City while the Sea Princess’s eldest daughter watched them leave with mixed feelings.
• Lan Fozi sensed the Demon Empress in Heaven Dou City and froze, recognizing her mother through their blood and soul bond.

Lan Fozi reunited with her mother while Di Tian began planning the Soul Beast Bureau’s second policy. He wrote down Tang Wulin’s name and considered using his Dragon God Bloodline to trigger Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon King power at a crucial moment, leaving him to choose which Shrek Seven Monsters member could carry that hidden key.

• Lan Fozi worried that her mother would be angry with her, but Di Tian reassured her and left her alone with the Demon Empress when she arrived.
• Di Tian returned to his room at the Forging Masters Association Headquarters and wrote Tang Wulin’s name on a sheet of xuan paper.
• Di Tian assessed the Soul Beast Bureau’s progress in rallying sea and terrestrial soul beasts and began planning its second policy.
• Di Tian decided that Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon King power could force Tang San’s divine consciousness to focus on suppressing him during the Final Chapter Peak Competition.
• Di Tian planned to use his energy-rich Dragon God Bloodline as a dangerous trigger for Tang Wulin and considered hiding it with one of his companions.
• Di Tian weighed Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, Yue Zhengyu, Yuanen Yehui, Xu Lizhi, Ye Xinglan, and Gu Yue as possible choices.

Di Tian chose Yuanen Yehui as the vessel for Tang Wulin’s Dragon God Bloodline and planned to use her Fallen Angel martial soul to open the Gate of Demons. He mapped out invasions by the Demon Plane and Abyss Plane to distract the Douluo Plane’s god-level defenders, then identified Eternal Heaven Kingdom as the weapon he needed to strengthen his position.

• Di Tian ruled out most of Tang Wulin’s companions and selected Yuanen Yehui over Xie Xie because of her ties to the Demon Plane and her connection to Tang Wulin’s family.
• Di Tian planned to keep Yuanen Yehui at Eight Rings, then force her cultivation to Nine Rings so she would open the Gate of Demons and guide an invasion.
• Di Tian planned for the Demon Empress to open a passage to the Abyss Plane, drawing in the Abyss Kings and Abyssal Creatures while the Abyssal Sage King hunted powerful beings and absorbed energy.
• Di Tian calculated that simultaneous invasions would occupy Tang San, Tang Hao, Ah Yin, and the Abyssal Sage King, allowing him to act as the fulcrum of a fragile balance.
• Di Tian decided he needed Eternal Heaven Kingdom, the last Level 12 Fixed Soul Cannon Shell, and noted that it had been transferred from the God of War Hall to Shrek Academy with Chen Xinjie’s approval.

Di Tian hid his desperate contingency plan and asked the Demon Empress to stay in Heaven Dou City while he pursued a new scheme involving a Shrek Academy student. The Demon Empress agreed to name powerful Holy Spirit Cult Evil Soul Masters who could control humans and rapidly increase a Soul Master's cultivation.

• Di Tian burned his written plan to wage a catastrophic war and sink Douluo Star, then invited the Demon Empress and Lan Fozi into his room.
• The Demon Empress thanked Di Tian for helping reunite her with Lan Fozi and asked whether her daughter could stay with him in Heaven Dou City.
• Lan Fozi asked Di Tian not to bully her, and their mention of Whale Rubber led the Demon Empress to misunderstand their relationship.
• Di Tian told the Demon Empress he would not separate them so soon and asked her to keep watch while he handled other matters.
• Di Tian asked for the Holy Spirit Cult's strongest Evil Soul Masters skilled at controlling people and boosting cultivation so they could help him control a Shrek Academy student.

Di Tian chose Na Nali and Dark Blood Demon to help prepare a hidden combat-power gift for Tang Wulin, then began refining Dragon God Bloodline in seclusion. Meanwhile, the Demon Empress tested her newly forged armor and mecha, and Zi Ji arranged for equipment of her own and Bi Ji.

• Di Tian agreed to recruit Na Nali and Dark Blood Demon, then entered the Forging Masters Association's secluded chamber to refine and compress Dragon God Bloodline for Tang Wulin.
• Zi Ji arrived as the Demon Empress's Four-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mecha were forged, and urged her to put them on.
• The Demon Empress equipped the armor and mecha, sensed their modest boost to her power, then concealed them and began nurturing them for future advancement.
• The Demon Empress explained to Zi Ji that her great cultivation limited the equipment's increase, while Zi Ji could use it to nearly its full potential.
• Zi Ji gave Xie Yinling the requirements for her own armor and mecha, along with Bi Ji's specifications, and he hurried away after recording them.

Zi Ji learned that Di Tian was in seclusion preparing to control a Shrek Academy student, and the Demon Empress prevented her from guarding him. While Zi Ji helped finalize battle armor and mecha for herself and Bi Ji, Di Tian completed a concealed drop of Dragon God Essence Blood intended to greatly increase Tang Wulin’s combat power.

• Zi Ji arrived as Xie Yinling delivered the Demon Empress’s Four-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mecha, then learned that Di Tian had unified the Sea Soul Beasts and entered seclusion to prepare to control a Shrek Academy student.
• The Demon Empress told Zi Ji that Lan Fozi was guarding Di Tian and persuaded her not to disturb his important, unexplained plan.
• The Demon Empress hosted Zi Ji for a meal, and Zi Ji decided to form an alliance with Bi Ji while waiting for her to arrive.
• Zi Ji carried Bi Ji’s objections to the battle armor and mecha designs between the Spirit Pagoda and the Forging Masters Association as the equipment was completed.
• After nearly a year in seclusion, Di Tian condensed a drop of Dragon God Essence Blood and prepared it as a combat power upgrade for Tang Wulin.

Bi Ji told Di Tian that Zhen Hua’s work for the soul beasts had angered the continent’s major powers, who might soon demand answers. She also worried that Gu Yue was developing feelings for Huo Yuhao, but kept that concern to herself when Di Tian emerged from seclusion.

• Zi Ji lured Bi Ji to the Forging Masters Association by claiming Di Tian would soon emerge, then proposed that they ally against Lan Fozi for Di Tian’s attention.
• Bi Ji said she no longer wanted to compete for Di Tian and feared what would happen to him and the soul beasts if their plans succeeded.
• Bi Ji explained that changes in Gu Yue reminded her of the Auspicious Beast’s feelings for Huo Yuhao, but she withheld this concern when Di Tian emerged.
• Bi Ji warned Di Tian that Zhen Hua’s refusal to take forging commissions had angered Spirit Pagoda, Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, and the Sun Moon Federation’s military factions.
• Bi Ji reported that Spirit Pagoda had pending projects for Xia Zheng Leng and Qiangu Zhangting, while Tang Sect had increased its requests and remained dissatisfied with Zhen Hua.
• Bi Ji said the major powers were in contact and might come together that year to demand an explanation from Zhen Hua.

Di Tian dismissed Bi Ji’s suggestion that they avoid provoking the human powers, explaining how he would conceal Zhen Hua’s forced work and use any investigation to his advantage. As they walked together, Bi Ji revealed that Gu Yue’s carefully staged approach to Tang Wulin had begun to affect her for real.

• Bi Ji urged Di Tian to avoid the human powers, but Di Tian said Zhen Hua would forge Heaven Forged Metal while they blamed his declining health on a voluntary attempt to advance his forging.
• Di Tian said he welcomed the possibility that the Spirit Pagoda and other superpowers would demand an explanation, then invited Bi Ji to walk with him alone.
• In the garden, Bi Ji voiced her concern that Gu Yue had seemed strange, and Di Tian asked her to recount Gu Yue’s actions at Eastsea Academy.
• Bi Ji explained that Gu Yue had approached Tang Wulin through a planned series of scenes designed to make him fall for her and win her wager with Na’er.
• Bi Ji said Gu Yue had begun losing focus and giving perfunctory answers, suggesting that the false feelings in her plan had become real.

Bi Ji feared that Soul Beasts drawn into human emotions would suffer, and Di Tian gave her his support and a True Dragon's Reverse Scale. Meanwhile, at the Far North, Legion Commander Guo Zhenfeng declared a missing Mecha Battalion lost and placed the Northern Legion on temporary combat readiness.

• Bi Ji told Di Tian that Gu Yue seemed to be concealing her feelings after hearing Xie Xie's love story, and worried that Soul Beasts involved with humans would meet tragic ends.
• Bi Ji confessed that she did not want to lose anyone else, and Di Tian promised to support her and gave her a True Dragon's Reverse Scale.
• At the Far North, Guo Zhenfeng learned that the Mecha Battalion sent to investigate had not reported back and rejected a proposal to send more troops into the Core Area.
• Guo Zhenfeng ordered the missing soldiers declared Martyrs and explained that the Northern Legion's duty was to guard the sole passage into and out of the Far North.
• Guo Zhenfeng ordered second-line Soul Engineer regiments to guard the Northern Legion's flanks and placed them on temporary combat readiness.

Xue Ling defeated Tai Tan and Bing Ji for control of the Far North Land and prepared to leave with them for Heaven Dou City to obtain Four-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mechas. Meanwhile, Na Nali and Dark Blood Demon passed through the Northern Legion's blockade and headed toward Shrek City on Di Tian's invitation.

• Guo Zhenfeng guarded the Far North Land to prevent a crisis and earn the military merit needed to marry Shen Yue.
• Xue Ling announced her victory over Tai Tan and Bing Ji and reminded them to follow her command as they traveled to Heaven Dou City.
• A Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast reported that the passage to the inland regions was open, and Xue Ling explained that the Northern Legion had withdrawn into the Far North's main passage.
• Tai Tan and Bing Ji agreed to leave with Xue Ling, but changed their minds about her maturity when she fretted that her lollipop seemed small beside her battle armor and mecha.
• Na Nali and Dark Blood Demon crossed the Northern Legion's blockade and discussed Di Tian's invitation to Shrek City.
• Na Nali decided to try winning over Di Tian and asked where in Shrek City the Demon Empress's message directed them.

Di Tian summoned Na Nali and Blood Demon to Shrek City and let Na Nali test her charm against him. After overpowering her with the terror in his Golden Dragon Eyes, he spared her and ordered the Holy Spirit Cult experts to handle an assignment, leaving her to ask whom he wanted controlled.

• Na Nali and Blood Demon found Di Tian at Happiness Dessert Shop in Shrek City.
• Na Nali tried to charm Di Tian, touching him and using the power of her Fear Bell martial soul.
• Di Tian met Na Nali's gaze and overwhelmed her with visions of slaughter and accumulated resentment, leaving her terrified.
• Di Tian learned that Ghost Emperor had sent Na Nali to probe him about the Demon Empress and his plans.
• Di Tian spared Na Nali and Blood Demon, ordered them to carry out his assignment, and Na Nali asked who they were supposed to control.

Di Tian ordered Na Nali and the Dark Blood Demon to bring Yuanen Yehui under control without attracting suspicion. At Happiness Dessert Shop, Na Nali hypnotized Yuanen Yehui and began shaping her memories to keep her compliant.

• Di Tian told Na Nali and the Dark Blood Demon to control Yuanen Yehui and restrain her cultivation at Eight Rings while keeping her able to advance to Nine Rings.
• Yuanen Yehui arrived for her shift at Happiness Dessert Shop and politely rejected her colleague's request to socialize.
• Na Nali invited Yuanen Yehui to sit with Di Tian and the others, then controlled her with a glance and made her drink and recount her life.
• Na Nali explained that she would layer imagined dreams into Yuanen Yehui's mind to form a hidden emotional barrier, and Di Tian approved her plan.
• Na Nali rang a purple bell after Yuanen Yehui finished recounting her past.

Na Nali used the Fear Bell to reshape Yuanen Yehui’s memories, making Di Tian appear as the light who saved her from suffering. Di Tian secretly placed Dragon God Essence Blood inside Yuanen Yehui, and the Dark Blood Demon assessed her potential and cultivation prospects.

• Na Nali explained how Yuanen Yehui’s painful past and loneliness could be used to make her devoted to a figure modeled after Di Tian.
• Na Nali rang the Fear Bell and made Yuanen Yehui experience countless nightmare realms in which Di Tian rescued her.
• Di Tian secretly placed Dragon God Essence Blood inside Yuanen Yehui through her heart while Na Nali and the Dark Blood Demon could neither see nor sense what he did.
• The Dark Blood Demon praised Yuanen Yehui’s talent and said resolving her emotional knots and accepting resources from the Yuanen Family could greatly accelerate her cultivation.
• Di Tian agreed that Yuanen Yehui could reach Limit Douluo by the age of twenty-five or twenty-six.

Di Tian and Dark Blood Demon arranged Yuanen Yehui’s accelerated cultivation by reversing her Soul Core sequence and using Dark Blood Demon’s method to raise her second Martial Soul’s rank. After they left Shrek Academy, Yuanen Yehui quit her dessert-shop job, while Na Nali tried to seduce Di Tian outside Shrek City.

• Dark Blood Demon explained how Yuanen Yehui could form her Soul Cores in reverse order and use soul absorption to reach Rank 90 quickly.
• Di Tian released Yuanen Yehui’s senses and instructed her to accept the family’s resources and follow a new cultivation plan, which she agreed to do.
• Di Tian, Dark Blood Demon, and the other Holy Spirit Cult expert left Shrek Academy, and the special field around Happiness Dessert Shop returned to normal.
• Yuanen Yehui’s sarcastic colleague confronted her over her poor sales, but Yuanen Yehui threw down her maid uniform and quit.
• Na Nali stayed with Di Tian outside Shrek City and flirted with him, offering to be his lover.

Na Nali shamelessly flirted with Di Tian, who secretly intended to turn her into a spiritual-type divine artifact once she reached Limit Douluo. After they parted, Di Tian considered other Weapon Martial Soul masters he might refine into divine artifacts.

• Na Nali made explicit advances toward Di Tian, who embraced her and promised to enjoy her after she reached Limit Douluo.
• Dark Blood Demon questioned Na Nali's behavior, while she privately reveled in the fear Di Tian inspired and hoped to merge with him in body and soul.
• Di Tian revealed in his thoughts that he wanted to refine Na Nali into a rare spiritual-type divine artifact to strengthen his spiritual offense.
• Di Tian considered collecting other Limit Douluo's divine artifacts and wondered whether the Heartless Sword and Amatory Sword would retain their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Zhen Hua and Mu Ye hoped that their guests would discover Di Tian and the other soul beasts, but they could not expose the truth themselves. Xu Sheng Qun’s request for Zhen Hua’s Crimson Dragon Blood Wine gave them a chance to provoke Di Tian and draw out a reaction.

• Zhen Hua told the visiting representatives that a failed attempt to forge god-grade metal had drained his life force and left him unable to take forging commissions.
• Zhen Hua and Mu Ye discreetly hoped their guests would find traces of Di Tian and the other soul beasts without being told where they were.
• Xu Sheng Qun persuaded Zhen Hua to accept life-restoring treasures and serve the group the Dragon Blood Wine he had long treasured.
• Zhen Hua brought out wine brewed from Crimson Dragon blood, while Xu Sheng Qun remarked that wine made from Di Tian’s blood would be even better.
